Hard plumbing the machine
Your Rocket R 58 espresso machine is built with a full commercial rotary pump.
This feature enables the user to connect the machine directly to the mains water
supply.
With your Rocket R 58 espresso machine there is the choice to use the 2.5 litre water
reservoir or alternatively use a mains water connection. The machine is preset at the
factory to use the supplied 2.5 litre water reservoir.
To set the machine to be mains water feed, please ensure the following instructions
are adhered to:
Program through the remote controller the operation mode from water
reservoir to connection to the mains water supply (please refer to page 16).
Using the steel braided water hose supplied, connect the machine to the water
supply.
Rocket Espresso recommends the following procedures when installing the machine
to a mains water supply feed:
Use a certified plumber to complete the installation and insure that the
installation meets local authority standards and regulations in all cases. Line
pressure exceeding 5 bars should be limited with the use of a pressure
regulating valve on the water feed line.
We recommend the use of a shut off valve to isolate the water supply to the
machine.
We recommend the use of an inline filter to ensure the water supply to the
machine is of the highest quality. Example: Everpure ocs filter range.
If you are drawing the water from a non pressurized system (ie from a remote
water supply tank, not mains pressurized) it is recommended that a non return
valve is fitted to the end of the water supply hose to ensure that inline pressure
is maintained at all times.
